A Slightly Altered Basic Palette!
March 27, 2019In my blog, I am trying various color schemes to expand my painting vocabulary. To that end, I am selecting a different color scheme/limited palette each week and basing three little 8 x 6 paintings upon that color palette.
A couple blogs ago I talked about the basic palette of Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow and white which I used almost exclusively for several years. This week, I altered that basic palette and replaced Alizarin Crimson with Burnt Sienna. It worked well since this week, as I did three little paintings of Falls Park in Sioux Falls, SD and the lightened form of Burnt Sienna is very close to the same color as the Sioux quartzite which is everywhere in Falls Park. The colors that I used this week were:
Ultramarine Blue
Cadmium Yellow
Burnt Sienna
Titanium White
